Establish a holding company in London, Edinburgh or in Belfast!

Holding company registration in UK: one of the key reasons for the registration of an advantageous and competitive environment is that the majority of both share disposals and dividends received are now exempt from tax. Of course, there are some exemptions to this, and certain requirements do need to be met. The knowledgeable team at Coddan will be happy to explore these with you. Reformation is also under way regarding the taxation of both offshore finance and overseas-controlled companies, where they were previously subject to UK tax. It's increasingly possible that both will eventually benefit from extremely low tax rates.

Establish a holding company in England: a holding company here can benefit from their parent/subsidiary and interest and royalties directives. Two key advantages are: allowing dividends to be paid to a UK holding company free of any withholding tax on shareholdings above 10%; company to receive interest from any EU member states, providing the UK holding company has a minimum of 25% of the shares in the EU company which pays the interest.

Another positive is the extensive network of treaties the UK can access, including double tax treaties with countries like the USA and China - which can significantly reduce withholding tax on dividends. It is also possible that, in future, overseas branches may be exempt from UK tax. In addition, that interest expenses on funding for share acquisitions can be tax deductible, so why not register a holding company in United Kingdom?

Coddan Formations Agency have this experience and can also help with the appointment of a nominee secretary and directors, provision of a registered office in London, VAT registration, trademark registration in UK and in EU, the issue of subscriber shares, and other key areas.

Benefits to establishing a holding company in the United Kingdom

Setting up a holding company in UK: is the United Kingdom a good place to register a holding company? The short answer to this often-asked question is "yes". There are a range of reasons for this to be seen as a positive decision to open a holding company in United Kingdom. The recent return to the country of a number of holding companies who had previously moved elsewhere suggests a change in both government attitude and behaviour. It's also the case that the largest number of new holding companies being incorporated throughout Europe over the last few years has been in this country.

Coddan Formations Agency does not hide any fees from our consumers, because the price of a holding company startup in London, Edinburgh or in Belfast transparency is essential to us. Our holding companies incorporation service' fees and holding company post-formation fees are provided to our customers upfront.

Subsidiary companies incorporated in an EU country may pay dividends to its UK holding company which will not be penalised for withholding tax in the originating country if the EU subsidiary Directive applies. If this fails, the dividend may still qualify through one of the UK's double taxation treaties. Holding companies registered in Great Britain benefit from relief for foreign taxes through the EU Directive, under the terms of a treaty, or unilaterally if neither applies. This usually means no liability for UK corporation tax on the holding company. Dividends paid by a holding company, and dividends received by a company from another UK based limited company are exempt from corporation tax. An exemption from capital gains tax applies on any shares disposal by the holding company.

What is a holding company?

A holding company is an individual legal entity that exists in order to own or "hold" assets. These assets can be anything that has value, so although stocks and shares in other companies are very commonly owned by holding companies, there are many other asset forms which can also be held. These other assets might include trademarks, brand names, and patents; private equity funds and hedge funds; traded public stocks; bonds; real estate and property; and even creative rights, such as to songs, books, or films.

With regards to the ownership of shares, a registered holding company can own 100% of the shares of a private company or limited liability partnership, or another corporation. In many cases a holding company may own several companies that each form a part of a much larger international group. In these circumstances, the holding company exists in order to protect the assets from each other, and ultimately to protect the profits from loss in the face of disaster.

For example, in the chemical industry, a single holding company may own subsidiary companies that in turn own several patents and brand names pertaining to particular products. They might also own the manufacturing companies that produce these products. If one or more of the manufacturing companies go bankrupt, the subsidiary companies will be unaffected by this, and the holding company will still own the brand names and the patents. This enables the business to re-establish itself quickly, and without further losses.

Be aware of a holding company registration: by definition, a holding company does not conduct business operations, although where it owns the majority of shares in a public or limited company, it may choose to provide executive oversight of that company, informing the corporate policies by which it functions. Generally, however, the holding company formation does not have an everyday role in any of its investments. These are run by their own management teams, and many holding companies act as merely passive investors.
